Abstract

The Week
April 17, 1879 issue

add to cart   close window

The article reports on recent socio-political developments. The debate over the Army Bill is raging in the U.S. Senate, James Blaine having been the principal speaker. He made very good use of figures in ridicule of the Democratic fear of oppression by the Army, showing that the whole U.S. force in the Southern States would furnish only one soldier for every 700 square miles of territory, and only 70 to every 1,000,000 inhabitants. The Negro movement towards Kansas has somewhat fallen out of sight during April 1879, but it appears to be uninterrupted.
